I haven't come across either as forms of Pinyin, and recall that Chapter 7 of 'Taiwan Today', which talks about the pressure Taiwanese students are under, has the vocabulary item '猛K' (MENG KEI); were there a character with the Pinyin pronunciation KEI you'd have thought the publisher would have used it rather than 'K', wouldn't you?

I can't find any characters for "den" anywhere (and it's not in the Microsoft IME). I don't think I'll add "kei" back on because it's not in the Microsoft IME and no one ever says that anymore. I think it's an archaic pronunciation. Here’s a new question: should “den” be on the list (as it is now)? I can’t find any characters for “den” anywhere (and it’s not in the Microsoft IME).

It's also in the 现代汉语词典 (xiànzài hànyǔ cídiǎn, Modern Chinese Dictionary), which I think has established itself to be the standard for current Chinese. I would put it back.
